Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, which announced that Israel refused to receive two hostages for free. This announcement coincided with a demonstration in Tel Aviv by the families of Israeli prisoners held by the resistance in the Gaza Strip, demanding the release of their families. Abu Ubaida, spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced that they intended to release two other hostages “for humanitarian reasons,” but Israel refused to receive them. He added in a brief statement that the Brigades informed Qatar yesterday, Friday, of their intention to release the two hostages.

The statement said: “We informed our Qatari brothers yesterday evening that we would release (two hostages) for compelling humanitarian reasons and without compensation... However, the occupation government refused to receive them.” He mentioned the names of the two hostages and their card numbers. For his part, Zaher Jabareen, the Hamas prisoner file official, told Al Jazeera that the movement’s offer to release the two female prisoners comes in accordance with the ethics of resistance.

Al Jazeera's correspondent in Gaza said that the agreement with Qatar included the release of 4 prisoners, and that the Israeli government refused to receive the other two hostages. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Tel Aviv said that Israel sees this step as an exercise in psychological warfare by the Al-Qassam Brigades and an attempt to facilitate the release of civilian prisoners in order to influence military movements on the one hand, and on the other hand to influence the path of opening safe passage and humanitarian aid.

According to the correspondent, Israel is taking into account that a major psychological war will be waged against the families of the prisoners, which is what prompts Israel to try to downplay these steps and not deal with them even by the media. Yesterday, the Al-Qassam Brigades released two American prisoners, a mother and her daughter, and handed them over to the Red Cross in Gaza, which in turn handed them over to Israel. Abu Ubaida's announcement coincided with hundreds of families of prisoners held by the resistance in the Gaza Strip demonstrating in front of the Israeli Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu step down, admit his failure, and return their children to Gaza.

Al Jazeera's correspondent said that these demonstrations are expected to escalate in the coming days, as the families of the prisoners see that the Israeli government is not doing much to release their relatives, nor does it make this a major goal among the goals of the war. He pointed out that the concerns of the families of the prisoners came after more than one political and military official spoke about the goals of the war and did not mention the issue of the prisoners as one of its goals. What increased their fears was what Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said before the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset when he spoke about the goals of the war without addressing the issue of prisoners.

In the same context, the French newspaper Le Monde said that the families of Israeli prisoners held by Hamas fear the consequences of any ground intervention in the coming days. She noted that negotiations regarding detainees constitute a sensitive topic as much as it is confidential. The newspaper confirmed that the families of the detainees are pinning their hopes on the role of countries, including Qatar, in reaching the release of more of them through its mediation.

On the other hand, Le Monde referred to what appears to be the strategy of the Netanyahu government in this issue, through the confirmation of the head of the Israeli National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, that the issue of detainees is the core of any discussion about bringing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

In another context, the British newspaper The Sun reported, citing reports, that “China has deployed six Chinese warships in the Middle East as tensions escalate in the region.” According to the newspaper, “China’s 44th Marine Task Force participated in routine operations in the region, and spent several days on a visit to Oman last week,” and “the country’s 44th Marine Task Force spent several days in Oman,” and “the task force left - From the Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army - Muscat to an unspecified location on Saturday after participating in a joint exercise with the Omani Navy. During the visit, the Chinese leaders met with Omani military officials and visited military institutions, while sailors from both countries toured each other's shops.

Finally, in the context of the Iranian escalation against the United States and Israel through its agents in the Middle East, the Al-Sumaria News channel reported on Sunday that the Ain al-Asad base in Anbar Governorate was bombed with three missiles. The channel indicated that the missiles - of the "Grad" type - were launched from a village in the Al-Baghdadi district adjacent to the base, indicating that one of these missiles fell inside the base while the air defenses intercepted the second, and the third missile fell in the vicinity of the base.

It is noteworthy that the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar and Harir in Erbil were subjected to a similar missile attack a few days ago, resulting in material damage to the two bases. It is worth noting that Ain al-Asad base is the second largest Iraqi air base after Balad Air Base, and it is the headquarters of the Seventh Division of the Iraqi army in the Al-Baghdadi district of Anbar Governorate near the Euphrates River.
